Editing Minecraft Beta 1.7.6 Prerelease 1 (section)

===World===
[[Season]]s
* Added
* Worlds now cycle slowly through 4 different [[Season|seasons]]. These [[Season|seasons]] affect various aspects of gameplay such as day/night times, [[grass]] and foliage colors, and the [[weather]]!


* Extended height limit! Our new Extended McRegion level saving format introduces an increase of build height to 256. We’re also introducing a new default world type: Extended Default, which bumps sea level up to y128 giving you 128 blocks of space of Overworld with larger mountains more space to build, and 128 blocks of deep caverns to get lost in!


* Biome Overhaul! Biomes have also had a major face lift in this update! Biomes now spawn much larger than before and are now placed much more evenly around the world, and almost every biome has been touched up significantly with new blocks and tree types including the swamp, seasonal forest and shrubland. We’re also introducing 3 new [[Biome|biomes]]!
* The [[Biome|Outback]] - A red wasteland with rich, mineral-filled dirt, [[spinifex]] and [[Tree|euclyptus trees]].
* The [[Biome|Meadow]] - Flowery, rolling hills that spawn in cold climates. Great for building!
* The [[Biome|Boreal Forest]] - A coniferous woodland with a variety of plants and flowers..


* New world types! Choose to generate from a plethora of different templates. Extended Default - BTA’s default world option.
* Default - Legacy default. Worlds from 1.7.5 and below will be set to this type. Maintains the old beta 1.7.3 terrain generation and 64 block deep worlds.
* Retro - Alpha world generation with retro, neon grass and trees.
* Flooded - featuers an increased sea level creating a vast ocean with island outposts to explore and conquer.
* Flat - A world of nothing but flat grass to build on
* Hell - An inhospitable wasteland with dirt, perma-darkness and lava oceans
* Paradise - A bright, friendly land of perma-day and perma-[[Biome|spring]]
* Woods - An endless forest full of densely packed trees.


* Snowier snow! Snow now piles high in heavy snowstorms.
